2015 Miners Season Preview

Sean Kugler’s first season as the head coach of the UTEP Miners football team was one of building for the future. The Miners faced a tough C-USA schedule and finished the season 2-10. UTEP looks to make huge strides in Kugler’s 2nd season in El Paso and there is much optimism coming into the season. Senior quarterback Jameill Showers returns and will have plenty of help from talented receivers Ian Hamilton and Jarrad Shaw. Look for a much improved defense in 2014 led by senior strong safety Jameel Erving and senior linebacker Anthony Puente. The UTEP Miners will play a number of interesting games, including two against Big 12 opponents in the non-conference when Texas Tech comes to El Paso on September 6th, and when the Miners travel to Manhattan to take on Kansas State on September 27th. Key games for the Miners in Conference USA will be November 1st against Southern Miss, November 15th against North Texas, and November 29th against Middle Tennessee.

UTEP Miners Rivals

In 1914, UTEP (then Texas College of the Mines), faced off against New Mexico State (then New Mexico A&M), in it’s first ever football game. A century later this rivalry has been played almost 100 times and is known as The Battle of I-10. The matchup is one of the few in the country to have two traveling trophies, the Silver Spade, and the Mayor’s Cup. The rivalry is currently as competitive as it has been in its history with the home team winning almost 60% of the time.

UTEP vs. UTSA

Satirically known as the “New” Battle of I-10, this is one of newest matchups in all of college football. Although UTSA has only had a football program since 2011, the proximity and similar size of these two schools makes this matchup a prime target to turn into great rivalry. Both schools are members of C-USA’s West Division, and they compete for recruits, students, fans, division, and conference championships. If there was one new C-USA matchup to keep an eye on in the next decade, this might be it.
